DJ Mustard Throws Shade at Drake with Toronto Hat During Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Video Shoot

DJ Mustard, the producer behind the track, made a notable appearance, sporting a Toronto Blue Jays hat. This seemingly innocuous choice of headwear has sparked widespread speculation. Given Drake’s well-known affinity for the Canadian baseball team, many believe Mustard’s hat was a subtle jab at the rapper. Social media is buzzing with theories, though some users suggest it might hold a different significance altogether.

Considering the song’s reputation for its fiery lyrics aimed at Drake, it’s plausible that the music video will contain more hidden messages. In “Not Like Us,” Kendrick doesn’t hold back, accusing Drake and his OVO crew of being “certified pedophiles” among other biting remarks. The video promises to be a star-studded affair, with fans eagerly anticipating its release.

What are your thoughts on Kendrick Lamar filming in Compton and DJ Mustard’s choice of a Toronto Blue Jays hat? Was it a calculated dig at Drake, or just a random fashion choice? Share your opinions in the comments below and stay tuned to Honk Magazine for the latest updates.

Mark Winters celebrates life’s best moments on new release “All In The Rhythm”

Mark Winters’ new track, “All In The Rhythm,” is a warm and moving folk-pop release that celebrates the quiet truth that life’s best moments often come from staying in step with the people we love. The song has an organic sense of openness and forward motion, inspired by a hike in Zion National Park.

“All In The Rhythm” captures the grounding simplicity of walking, breathing, and sharing meaningful moments with others, with an acoustic guitar and a steady pulse. That pulse-like rhythm is symbolic not just of music, but of connection itself.

The track hits home because of its uplifting honesty. It poses a serious question: what if the search for happiness is not about more, but about movement in harmony with loved ones, with life, with the now? That notion gives the song emotional weight without weighing down its bright spirit.

The folk-pop foundation lends it accessibility and charm. The steady groove propels the song with a reassuring, alive momentum, while acoustic textures add warmth. It’s easy to imagine listeners connecting with its hopeful message, because it speaks to something universal.
